The article you link to literally says the cause is not known and does not mention any links to birth control...
> The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unclear. However, fibroids run in families and appear to be partly determined by hormone levels. Risk factors include obesity and eating red meat.
- whatshisface 8y agoHormone levels are impacted by birth control, maybe that's the mechanism.
- newnewpdro 8y agoReading comprehension fail; nowhere in my comment did I use the word 'cause'. The hormones involved in hormonal birth control are growth factors. If you have uterine fibroids (or a fetus), the hormones help them grow.
